    Just curious of everyone's opinion. I love the look of the badass off road bumpers. Especially Brute force's products! However i have been wondering if a brute force rear bumper would look silly on my tuck just because i don't have a off road front bumper or sliders. Should i just do a clean looking color matched bumper? One last thing how much could i tow with the brute force rear bumper?
    Thanks TW!
    Heres my truck

    Also the rims and side steps will be powder coated black soon.

    I don' see any problem with it at all, but at the end of the day, who cares? it's your truck!

    I am probably going to be doing the same relatively soon. I eventually want to get a front bumper, but the one I want is heavy, so I want to wait and do it at the same time when I do a lift down the road away to avoid messing with the suspension twice. Since I am not ready to lift anytime soon, that and the front bumper can wait. In my case, I think the black off road rear bumper will make the truck look better. All of my accessories on the truck are black, so the only chrome items are the grill and rear bumper.

    There are many styles. The high clearance ones might look sorta out of place on a stock looking truck.
    I have a Road Armor rear bumper and they did a really good job of following body lines. Its all really a matter of opinion.

    I have a rear plate bumper and stock front, if anyone doesnt like it they can kiss my rear bumper.

    Its your truck and it will be even more uniquely yours whatever you do. I just wish you'd trade me those wheels for my black one's it'll save you the expense of powder coating!!
